For the first time in 29 years there will not be a Harbourfest.

Under the direction of the Government of Ontario and health officials, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic we had no choice but to reschedule the 29th edition of Harbourfest. Originally scheduled for July 31st - August 2nd, 2020 rescheduled to July 30th – August 1st, 2021.

Our entirely volunteer run Harbourfest Committee had worked very hard to get the Evening Entertainment line-up secured early, tickets on sale by Christmas, and all the Daytime Activities planned over the last 6 month but we all agreed it is in the best interest of our volunteers, vendors, sponsors, partners, entertainers and the general public to reschedule even if the current restrictions are lifted.

We started the rescheduling process on May 1st after the Premier of Ontario announced no large public gatherings will be allowed this summer. During this time we have been able to contact the numerous parties involved to discuss rescheduling all our activities to 2021 and are pleased with the responses from all our event partners and the effort involved to make all the necessary arrangements.

We are pleased to announce ALL our EVENING ENTERTAINMENT has agree to return in 2021. Friday July 30th, 2021 – Econoline Crush & Finger Eleven, Saturday July 31st, 2021 The Wild! & One Bad Son & Sunday August 1st, 2021, The Darby Mills Project & Toque.

All current tickets purchased for the 2020 event will automatically be valid for 2021. We are currently working with our ticket company and will be offering information to all ticket holders as to how to obtain refunds if required, within the next few weeks.

Please be patient with us as we work through this unprecedented process.

Please Stay Safe, so we can all get together in 2021.
